Abstract (en)

A high speed optical scanning system using a circular array of concave reflectors (34, 35) on a reading disc (30) which appears in conjunction with a strip mirror (26) to achieve horizontal scanning is claimed. Such horizontal scanning can be combined with a framing mirror (20) to achieve orthogonal scanning. The system can operate in a "read" mode for scanning a scene or in a "write" mode to create a picture, or can do both modes simultaneously.
